This man is Ariel Jackson Alves Barbosa, 42 years old, and Artênio’s brother. After the searches, the Military Police team located the suspect between the cities of Jataúba, in Pernambuco, and Congo, in Paraíba. The man was found inside a vehicle, at PB-214. Former police chief's body found after weeks of searches The Civil Police's suspicion is that Paulo premeditated the crime together with the other suspects, with the intention of appropriating the victim's assets. “The criminals were already planning the death with the clear intention of killing the victim and stealing his assets, both the cattle and the truck and other possible belongings”, reported delegate Francisco Júnior. To do this, Paulo, who was the victim's caretaker, had the help of his son-in-law, Artênio, and his brother, Ariel Jackson, luring the victim to the property with the excuse that there was someone interested in buying the cattle. Also according to delegate Francisco Júnior, the retiree's body was hidden approximately 1km from the house of the arrested suspect, who is identified as the perpetrator, close to a pasture area where the victim's cattle grazed. There are still no details on how the victim was killed, and, due to the advanced state of decomposition in which the corpse was found, the cause of death can only be concluded after examination.

In a statement, the Paraíba Civil Police reported that the Campina Grande Robbery and Theft Police Station was assigned to investigate the disappearance. The corporation also informed that new information should be released as the investigations progress.

"He called my brother to say that he was going to investigate some cattle that he had on land in São José da Mata, on leased land. We waited for him to arrive, during the night, as always happened, and he didn't arrive," he said.
